Comments on this system wanted
Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2002 12:24 pm
After following this forum for a while I have decided that the noise level for my current system is simply unbearable, but since I don't have alot of experience with silent products I'm hoping to get some comments on this system that I've been planning to put together.
Since I enjoy playing games as well as raytracing I don't really want to go for a slow cpu unless it's absolutely necessary, so this is what I had planned:
- Antec full tower case padded with sound insulation
- Q-technologies 300w silent power supply (got this one already)
- P4-2.4ghz cooled with a Zalman 6500B-CU
- ASUS P4PE motherboard (no chipset fan)
- Radeon 8500 gfx card (already own this, planning to remove the fan and replace with a fanless solution, probably zalman)
- IBM 60GXP suspended (changing this to a barracuda V s-ata as soon as they're avail)
Does anyone see a problem with this setup? Will the cooling be adequate? Will it be silent? All comments, complaints, suggestions, recommendations are _very_ welcome. I'll be looking forward to them.
